Box Office Hit And Oscar Contender ‘Fire Of Love’ To Get Limited IMAX Release
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: One of the most honored documentaries of the year is heading to the very big screen. National Geographic Documentary Films and Neon announced today they are bringing Fire of Love to select IMAX locations on October 16 and 17, including New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, Chicago, and Washington D.C.
The film, directed by Sara Dosa, explores the story of research scientists Katia and Maurice Krafft, a French couple who devoted their lives to studying active volcanoes.
They captured awe-inspiring footage of volcanic eruptions in the 1970s and ‘80s, spectacular imagery that seems ideally suited for IMAX exhibition. “Katia and Maurice Krafft loved two things — each other and volcanoes,” a description of the film notes. “For two decades, the daring French volcanologist couple roamed the planet, chasing eruptions and documenting their discoveries.
Ultimately, they lost their lives in a 1991 volcanic explosion, leaving a legacy that forever enriched our knowledge of the natural world… Fire of Love tells a story of primordial creation and destruction, following two bold explorers as they venture into the unknown, all for the sake of love.” What Jacques Cousteau did for the oceans, the Kraffts did for volcanoes – becoming famous for sharing their enthusiasm and scientific insight into nature’s stunning power.
